Thumbs up Re: Not recommended

I can feel Your pain. I recently had an accident at work and Broke both of My Tibia. ( Crushed the Left one.)

I Had My first P T appointment this Morning and had to get into My Daughters Civic. Even with the seat all the way back I Barely Fit. Not a chance I would try to stuff My 6 foot 2 inch frame into My cross even with the top Down!

Good luck! And I hope Your good Heath returns soon.

We joke about how my Jeep does not like him, it often sounds the seat belt alarm the entire time he drives it.

In a panic, he bummed a ride home from a stranger and took the Crossfire from its snug storage and raced to pick me up. I was horrified that he was driving my baby, complete with reduced insurance coverage but it was a mild day, dry roads.

Let me tell you, it is not easy to get in or out of the Crossfire with a new knee and fresh 8 inch incision. He had to bend my leg to stuff it in the car and it hurt like hell. He kept saying sorry mom, sorry. The Crossfire is not recommended transit for tall patients recovering my knee surgery.

When he went back to the coffee shop, the Jeep started first try. Probably a new starter in its future.
